Call for Papers for UG journal

The Paper Shell Review, the University of Maryland's only undergraduate journal of essays on literary topics, is now accepting submissions. The journal's first issue was published with an introduction by Michael Dirda, a Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic.

This is a great opportunity for all undergrads to get published and share their work with a larger community. The call for submissions goes out to several universities internationally.

The submission guidelines are below, and a previous issue can be viewed here: http://www.english.umd.edu/academics/undergraduate/psr/spring-2012

Submissions should only be sent via email and not the website.
